Musk Plans To Build 1000+ Starships To Transport 1M People To Mars: A Fleet Of 'Modern Noah's Arks'

Tesla Inc TSLA and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk aims to build 100 starships per year and send one million people to Mars by 2050. 

He believes close to a million people are needed on Mars to ensure enough population for the necessary work to survive on the Red Planet.

Musk recently advocated building over 1000 Starships to send people to Mars, echoing the same sentiment. 

Popular YouTuber Lex Fridman asked what exists outside our universe and if it's possible for humankind to explore deep space. Replying to him, Musk spoke about expanding our consciousness and answering these questions. 

That is why we must expand the scope & scale of consciousness – so that we may learn the answers to these questions
